“…Soluble solids were 6.64 ± 0.20 ºBrix and 8.15 ± 0.10 ºBrix for conventional and organic samples, respectively. These results disagree with those observed by Rangel et al (2011) that evaluated the contents of ascorbic acid, minerals, sugars, total soluble solids, pH, titrateble acidity, and juice yield of the acid lime juice, cv.Tahiti, from conventional and organic biodynamic production de Castro et al 1885 systems. In this study the conventional acid lime showed higher values of titratable acidity and soluble solids.…”

“…The soluble solids content and titratable acidity of lime conventional samples presented mean values lower than organic samples. This probably is due to the fact the composition and fruit flavor can be modified by the intensity of sunlight and the use of pesticides (Mattheis and Fellman, 1999).Intense sun rays over the fruit can influence total soluble solids, but not total titratable acidity, but phosphorus fertilization, for instance, may lead to a reduction of total acidity and soluble solids (Rangel et al, 2011).…”

The aim of this research was to determine some important quality parameters and the antioxidant activity of organic and conventional oranges, limes and apples. Five samples of organic fruits with seal certification, organic fruits without seal certification and conventional fruits were acquired from supermarkets and farm in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Organic lime and orange showed higher mean values of acidity, being 4.5 and 34.8% higher, when compared to conventional fruit, respectively. There were no statistical differences (p>0.05) among organic lime and orange with seal certification, organic without seal certification and conventional fruits regarding the values of density and ascorbic acid. Total soluble solids of organic with seal certification and organic without seal certification in lime was 47.4 and 25.8% higher than conventional fruits. Few statistical differences were observed in acidity and total sugar for Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) and Lime (Citrus aurantifolia (Christm) Swingle). In relation to the apple samples, there is no significant difference between the physicochemical analyzes of organic and conventional cultivars. Regarding antioxidant activity, an increase in the percentage of reduction of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical was observed in organic with seal certification lime (18.4%) and orange (22.2%) in comparison to conventional fruit. In general, small differences were observed in chemical quality parameter contents of organically and conventionally grown fruits, however, organic fruits, sealed or not, showed higher antioxidant activity than conventional fruits, suggesting that modulation of these parameters due to alterations in the cultivation practice is unique to the specific species and cultivar of vegetables.

Since the emergence of novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection in Wuhan, China in December 2019, it has now spread to over 205 countries. The ever-growing list of globally spread corona virus-19 disease (COVID19) patients has demonstrated the high transmission rate among human population. Although 12 new drugs are being tried for management of COVID19, currently there are no FDA approved drugs or vaccines to prevent and treat the infection of the SARS-CoV-2. Considering the current state of affairs, there is an urgent unmet medical need to identify novel and effective approaches for prevention and treatment of COVID19 by re-evaluating the knowledge of traditional medicines and repurposing of drugs.Here, we used molecular docking approach to explore the beneficial roles of an array of phytochemicals and active pharmacological agents present in the Indian herbs (Tulsi, Haldi, Giloy, Black pepper, Ginger, Clove, Cardamom, lemon, and Ashwagandha) which are widely used in the preparation of Ayurvedic medicines in the form of Kadha to control various respiratory disorders such as cough, cold and flu. The evaluation was made based on the docking scores calculated by AutoDock Vina. Our study has identified an array of phytochemicals present in these herbs which have significant docking scores and potential to inhibit different stages of SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as other Coronavirus target proteins.Molecular docking also indicated that, the phytochemicals present in these herbs possess significant anti-inflammatory property. Overall our study provides scientific justification in terms of binding of active ingredients present in different plants used in Kadha preparation with viral proteins and target proteins for prevention and treatment of the COVID19. This preparation can boost individual's immunity and inhibit the viral severity by interfering at different stages of virus multiplication in the infected person.Ayurveda's immunity boosting measures for self care during COVID 19 crisis.
